Along the craggy Cornish shoreline the legendary South West Coast Path squiggles, rising and plunging in an endless, photogenic procession of limpid blue inlets, golden beaches and sleepy fishing villages. Cornish walking is defined by this spectacular surf-fringed route, which has sections suited to both casual strollers and serious trekkers.
Well trodden and well marked, most of the path is straightforward to tackle – even if you’ve never clapped eyes on an ordnance map. But that’s not to say you should underestimate it. Hikes may set off from a fashionable town with London-smart restaurants and galleries, but before long you’ll be skirting gorse-carpeted cliffs or scrambling up steep, rocky inclines. (In other words, wear solid shoes.)
